Hi All,
Please look at my babies and tell me what you think.

By the way, this is my first serious grow and I really don't know that much.

Three days ago, I checked the roots of my two hydros and noticed there was root rot (a few dark and light brown roots, roots clumping together, slight odor). I had had a PPM of 1100 and had mixed Floralicous grow, Flora Nova Bloom, and Earth Nectar/Earth Ambrosia. I kept the pH around 6 and checked the pH and PPM twice a day.

The plants were originally in the computer grow box about 4 inches from a 50 watt HPS lamp. The one plant that is not in the reservoir has always been in soil. They are all about a month old.

Two days ago, I flushed the reservoir and replaced it with distilled water and about 5 mL of H202, a very small amount. I tried to manually pull the roots apart gently and removed as much visible rot as I could. I trimmed a couple of the really long roots and cut out a few of the rotted roots. They actually weren't all that rotted, just brownish and sticky.

For about the last two weeks, the plants have been drooping down quite a bit. When the plants were in the PC, the 3 inch net baskets were always about 1/2 an inch submerged.

Yesterday, I put the plants in a much bigger growing area with a 400 watt HPS lamp. Also, for the last few days, I have been supplementing both the 50 and 400 HPS lamps with a 55 watt 5000K CFL lamp from the side. Temperatures are staying around 72-25 in the growing area. The growing area has always had at least two fans. In the new growing area, there are three fans and the one bringing in new air is really powerful.

Three days ago, I had changed from 18/6 to 12/12 to start the flowering process since the plants didn't have much room in the PC. I sprayed them twice with Bushmaster. About every other day, I have been spraying the hydro plants with Spray N Grow. Over the last three days, I have gone back to 18/6 to see if I can heal them with light.

Here are pictures. The first are the last pictures from the PC. As you can see the plants don't look good at all. The tips are yellow and the leaves drooping. I had kept the plants in the peroxide solution for one full day. This morning, I changed the water and added Flora Nova Bloom to the reservoir, but only about 100 PPM.

I think I had nutrient burn right before I noticed the root rot since the tips of the leaves were yellow and the younger leaves looked too deep green. Since this is my first grow, I am not really sure of anything though and need your help.

Too much/little nutrients? Too much/little light? Overwatered? Thanks a lot for your help. Wheezey
Wheezey Reviewed by Wheezey on . Hi, nice to meet you all; need help on first cabinet grow Hi All, I have been reading your posts for a while and you seem like a really great bunch of folks. I just started my first cabinet grow two weeks ago (including seed germination time). I have a 20 inch tall PC Case growing box with a 50w HPS growlight and a two plant DWC hydro setup. The seeds (Nothern Lights Special from KC Brains) germinated and sprouted in five days and then I increased the PPM (General Hydroponics Growth) to 250 and kept the light on for 24 hours a day for ten days.
